“We need to see further urgent investment in adult social care and a boost to the workforce, to ensure the best possible care for those that draw on it.”
Responding to the new report by The King’s Fund on a struggling social care sector, Cllr Kaya Comer-Schwartz, adult social care spokesperson for the Local Government Association said:
“This important annual report highlight the perilous state of adult social care. It is disappointing and concerning that the Budget provided no new money for these under pressure services, despite an increased demand for them.
“We need to see further urgent investment in adult social care and a boost to the workforce, to ensure the best possible care for those that draw on it.”
